Warhammer+ unveils three new cinematic 40K animations in January push

Warhammer Community on January 7 released a short preview trailer teasing three new Warhammer 40,000 animations that will debut on Warhammer+. The promotional clip runs roughly 1:06 and serves as a sneak peek at the cinematic work set in the 41st millennium. The trailer is presented as a Warhammer+ video item and is positioned alongside other early January Warhammer TV and Warhammer+ releases.

The announcement matters because it continues Games Workshop's recent emphasis on expanding narrative and visual content for the tabletop audience. These new animations add to the library of cinematic pieces available to Warhammer+ subscribers, offering fresh story beats, atmospheric footage, and potential inspiration for narrative missions, display boards, and hobby projects. The teaser’s brevity suggests the full releases will be short films or cinematic vignettes rather than feature-length episodes, consistent with Warhammer+'s existing animated and animated-adjacent offerings.

For players and clubs, the practical implications are immediate. Check Warhammer+ for release dates and subscriber access so you can schedule viewing sessions, use the films as background during campaign nights, or draw visual references for painting and conversions. Collectors and painters can watch for faction cues and design details to apply to miniatures, while narrative players can mine these shorts for scenario ideas or to flesh out local campaign arcs.

The release also reinforces January as a month for fresh Warhammer media. With this preview clearly labeled as part of a broader content push, expect additional short-form videos and Warhammer TV items to arrive through the month. If you are weighing a Warhammer+ subscription, these releases are a timely example of the platform’s exclusive content slate to factor into that decision.

To follow up, watch the preview on the Warhammer Community video item and monitor Warhammer+ for the complete animations. Whether you want inspiration for your next paint job, material for a campaign night, or simply an excuse to host a community screening, these new cinematic pieces aim to bring more of the 41st millennium to screens and tabletops alike.
